I'd like to find these idiots that make plastic supporting brackets.
Plastic is not a durable material, and either fails from weight, or
from decay, and that wont be long. Get some steel brackets and you
wont have to mess with it again. Society is going backwards. They
used to make durable materials. Now everything is junk plastic crap.

Plastic decays? Does Greenpeace know of this?

I have some shelves with plastic supports for 20 years that are still
perfect. You'd be amazed at the properties of some plastics. And they
don't rust or corrode.



Well a lot goes to hell quickly. The plastic
sheets used to cover stuff (2-6 mill), e.g., for
painting and other uses, seem to shred very
quickly from UV light.

Otoh, the my black plastic 1" pipe lying on top of
the ground for 20 years of rain, snow, freezing,
boiling hot sun, 100 + degrees, full sunlight,
etc. continues to do its job just fine. Exposed
like that it is it has probably aged the
equivalent of 100 years in a buried state.
